Shikha Pandey to van Niekerk, out Caught by Mandhana!! The end of the fun. She's done with all her tonks. Gets a fullish delivery on the sticks and sinks down in sweeping it away. Airy rather, and just couldn't keep it down and Mandhana at square leg pouches. The skipper's done with her job though. van Niekerk c Mandhana b Shikha Pandey 57(66) [4s-7 6s-1]
48.3
Shikha Pandey to Ismail, 1 run, keeps backing away, and keeps whacking it through cover

Shikha Pandey to Tryon, out Caught by Goswami!! One airy strike too many. Gets a seam up length stuff in the zone, asking for the slog. Tryon looks to oblige, sinks, swings and goes upwards with the slog-slice. The bat face rolls in her palms as well as the ball balloons and settles inside the safe hands of long-off. Tryon c Goswami b Shikha Pandey 24(18) [4s-1 6s-2]

3.6
Shikha Pandey to Chetty, no run, smothered with soft hands
3.5
Shikha Pandey to Chetty, no run, appeal. Relatively close. But was there an inside edge? Might have been. A sharp np-backer which strikes Chetty on the flap of her pad, she was caught on the shuffle, but may have got a tiny bit of edge. Don't think it was too high
3.4
Shikha Pandey to Chetty, no run, pulls her length back and bowls it around middle and leg, tucked into the on-side

1.2
Shikha Pandey to Laura Wolvaardt, out Bowled!! Off-stump ripped out of the ground. Oh, what a sight. The stump goes cartwheeling. Shikha Pandey missed out in the last 2 games and here she comes and bowls a thunderbolt second ball. A perfect curving inswinger which keeps snaking in to beat Laura Wolvaardt all ends up and slam her off pole. Wolvaardt was back and wasn't expecting the ball to shape in. Past the inside edge and bam... Laura Wolvaardt b Shikha Pandey 1(3)
